Display script library help information using scripting

The script library provides Jython script procedures to assist in automating the environment. The script library includes help commands to list each available script library, display information for specific script libraries, and to display information for specific script procedures.

The scripting library provides a set of procedures to automate the most common application server administration functions. There are three ways to use the Jython script library.

• Run scripts from the Jython script library in interactive mode with wsadmin. We can launch wsadmin, and run individual scripts that are included in the script library using the following syntax:
  wsadmin>AdminServerManagement.createApplicationServer("myNode", "myServer", "default")

• Use a text editor to combine several scripts from the Jython script library, as the following sample displays:

  #
  # myscript.py
  #
  AdminServerManagement.createApplicationServer("myNode", "Server1", "default")
  AdminServerManagement.createApplicationServer("myNode", "Server2", "default")
  
  # Use one of them as the first member of a cluster AdminClusterManagement.createClusterWithFirstMember("myCluster", "APPLICATION_SERVER",
      "myNode", "Server1")
  
  # Add a second member to the cluster AdminClusterManagement.createClusterMember("myCluster", "myNode", "Server3")
  
  # Install an application AdminApplication.installAppWithClusterOption("DefaultApplication",
      "..\installableApps\DefaultApplication.ear", "myCluster") 
  
  # Start all servers and applications on the node AdminServerManagement.startAllServers("myNode")

  Save the custom script and run it from the command line, as the following syntax demonstrates:
  bin>wsadmin -language jython -f path/to/your/jython/file.py

• Use the Jython scripting library code as sample syntax to write custom scripts. Each script example in the script library demonstrates best practices for writing wsadmin scripts. The script library code is located in the app_server_root/scriptLibraries directory. Within this directory, the scripts are organized into subdirectories according to functionality, and further organized by version. For example, the app_server_root/scriptLibraries/application/V70 subdirectory contains procedures that perform application management tasks that are applicable to v7.0 and later of the product.

Use the AdminLibHelp script library to display general information about each script library, specific information about a specific script library, and information about specific scripts.

• Display general script library information.

  Use the following command invocation to display general script library information with wsadmin:

  print AdminLibHelp()

• Display scripts in a specific script library.

  We can also use AdminLibHelp script to display each script within a specific script library. For example, the following command invocation displays each script in the AdminApplication script library:

  print AdminLibHelp.help("AdminApplication")

• Display detailed script information.

  Use the help script with the script library of interest to display detailed descriptions, arguments, and usage information for a specific script. For example, the following command invocation displays detailed script information for the listApplications script in the AdminApplication script library:

  print AdminApplication.help('listApplications')
